COF­FEE SNOB

We all have that per­son in our lives – the one who is im­pos­si­ble to buy presents for. (you know who you are.) When all else fails, I find some re­ally nice cof­fee usu­ally hits the spot, which is why I was ex­cited to see these.

Ne­spresso has launched two spe­cial edi­tion col­lec­tions: Vari­a­tions, which is in­spired by quintessen­tially French flavours like mac­aron, pra­line and pure black espresso; and Ex­plo­rations, a luxe col­lec­tion of rare cof­fees from Nicaragua, In­dia, the Do­mini­can Repub­lic and Santa Cruz Is­land. The Vari­a­tions sleeves are R95 each and the Ex­plo­rations range comes in a ‘schmancy’ lim­ited-edi­tion box set, with four dif­fer­ent types of cof­fee, two Re­veal glasses and a cof­fee ta­ble book. At R1000, it’s more of a splurge.
